Description of problem: Gnome-do sometimes starts up and consumes 100% of the CPU. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-do-0.8.2-5.fc12.x86_64 How reproducible: Intermittent. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log in with gnome-do configured to start automatically. 2. Observe cpu with top 3. Actual results: Gnome do runs at 100% (or >100% on multi-core machines). Expected results: Idle. Additional info: Problem is documented in Unbuntu at https://bugs.launchpad.net/do/+bug/395190 with a fix reported as provided in gnome-do-0.8.3. Perhaps Fedora can roll forward?
(Work around until fixed: observe 100% CPU by loud laptop fan, kill and restart gnome-do by hand. It usually [always] runs correctly the second time.) I looked at dropping 0.8.3{.1?} into the current spec, but it's not trivial... It's not obvious how to get a clean release tarball out of upstream, and the apparent need to remove docky is icky. (Is it acceptable to just ifdef out that code rather than actually delete it?)
Hey John, Docky won't be removed from gnome-do, instead, we patched out the Icon Magnification. The problem is deciding if removing the icon zoom to get the program in Fedora is worth it, or moving it to another repository to enable full functionality. I'm marking this as a dupe for Bug 546282. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 546282 ***
